Farmers market coordinator Connie Weathers said, “We are very thankful to have been selected to receive AgSouth’s Think Outside the Store® farmers market grant.”

According to AgSouth Farm Credit Marketing Director Christy Smith, “To be eligible to receive a grant, applicants had to provide a detailed marketing plan describing how they would use the grant funds to promote the market.
